people don't realize that Dev, was England's Greatest Spy
the brilliant orator who unleashed the Irish Civil War.
DeValera was born in the United States and is of a Converso Cuban and Irish servant hanky panky.

I predict she will soon withdraw her candidacy for health reasons! - and classically:'to spend more time with her family'; (well, some of them,anyway!) Bye-Bye, Dana! X X

De Valera had a similar problem. He couldn't get shot at Kilmainham because of citizenship issues. The only reason any tie to America lifts a brow is because we are really sgort of Loyalists here (we have a dozen). Why blame all of us though? It was the Ulster Irish that started the problems for George III.

I live in Ireland, and will vote in the Presidential election. Unlike what your correspondents are alleging people in Ireland are not concerned with the fact Rosemary has american citizenship. However the media became interested as to why she attempted to conceal it. Virtually everyone here has American relatives, and do remember DeValera was born in the Unite States.
